Elske is such an inviting restaurant, with a warm and beautiful décor. The outdoor patio is perfect for this weather, and I appreciated that the inside wasn't too cold since the doors were open toward the patio. Service was excellent--quiet, p
First off beautiful setting.
A garden I want to live in, elevated rustic clean lines, inviting. I sat at the bar and had a wonderful time chatting and eating like I met an old friend. Each dish was truly delicious. The smoked fruit and vegetables tea was so unique and blew me aw

The good: food unfamiliar, but delicious if you keep an open mind. The bad: it was noisy. None of us could hear the waitress, but apparently they don't actually have many substitutions for allergies on the tasting menu. After she gave her in
I can't even begin to list out how horrible our experience
I can't even begin to list out how horrible our experience was. 4 of us have dined at Michelin restaurants around the world and in Chicago too - this place wasn't even at par with a normal dining out experience. In our party of 4, we had
Worst experience at a Michelin rated restaurant, hands down.
Food was decent, service was extremely lacking.
Over hyped expectations led to disappointment
We had great service and almost perfect food. The striploin on the tasting menu was not that tender but was better than the sausage that accompanied it. The liver and mushroom tart dish could also have been better. The fish dish was the best and shri
Went here on a Saturday at 5 pm.
Prepaid and ready for the experience. Inside: loved the whole decor. Simple, minimal, very much my aesthetic. They have a patio that's very welcoming with a wood burning fireplace that would be perfect for summer evenings (so, think about aski

Incredibly delicious food! Def on fancier end of pricing, but if is well worth it. We had the attic char (cooked perfectly), the meat balls (yum!), sunchokes with lentil crepe, fermented black bean agnolotti w morel mushrooms (favorite!) Leave room

I picked this place to go to for my husband's birthday this year and we are glad we chose it. The type of food that they have is a Scandinavian Norwegian feel about it, and the food was very unique and super good. You were able to choose from th
Overall, Elske is a really solid dinner option.
The decor is modern and minimalistic, yet the space is warm and inviting. There was not a single empty table in the house so it was quite a lively atmosphere, although unfortunately, it was quite loud and I found it difficult to hear the explanation
Unique food.
Delicious mascarpone desert with blood orange sauce or something like that. Best service I ever got. Great atmosphere.
Elske Chicago
Really disappointed, having been looking forward to this since booking. Lovely setting and courtyard. It took us 35 minutes to seat us after our reservation time. From that point on service was extremely slow - it was an hour until we had a drink
Good restaurant but not great
Good restaurant, but not great! Informal and pleasant atmosphere. Tasting menu with 7 courses and wine pairings. Of the 7 dishes, in my opinion, 6 were good and one was excellent. Regarding the wines, all were good, none were excellent. Good service,
Outstanding food; blasé, cold service.
Outstanding food in a lovely patio setting. The 4 rather than 5 stars is for the service. It wasn’t awful—just indifferent. There was no attempt to connect with us as customers or to explain the dishes. The food is inventive and different, and an

Highly recommend their set menu! The food is delicious and I love that they have a juice/non alcoholic pairing with their set menu. My favorites were the confit cod and hamachi. Everyone who serviced us was truly lovely and very knowledgeable of the
Met a friend for drinks and bites at the bar.
Upon entering, I knew we were going to be in for a treat. The ambiance is lowkey, but very elegant. We ordered several things and asked our bartender what to pair them with - they should be sommelier's with how well they helped us! Wish I could remem
I was extremely satisfied with my meal here.
Only thing from tasting menu I didn't care for was the duck tart. Waitress was a sweetheart. Service was simple, but don't mistake that for bad the servers placed for food explained the dish & didn't linger which was welcome. The cabbage was the

We did a Friday night date to try the set menu and wine pairings. Our server Alexa was absolutely amazing. So personable and insane knowledge of menu & tastes. Made some wonderful recommendations! Absolutely worth the price for a wonderful experi
Awful.
Just........AWFUL. Went here with my partner for a lovely dinner for NYE 2023. We've looked at the menu in advance, and we were super excited to reserve a spot at a Michelin star spot for NYE. Little did we know that we should take our Thiazide diure

Stunning.
Who knew risotto made with celery could be something you'd want to eat every single day. Elevated comfort food.
Upscale but intimate space with dimmed lighting.
It took about 10 minutes for a server to attend to me once seated, although the restaurant was not packed. I ordered the oat porridge sourdough with cultured koji butter as well as the smoked fjord trout with golden beets, orange, sesame and green te

Best in class Nordic taste in Chicago
great fine dining option in Chicago, we visited Elske for our wedding anniversary celebration and enjoyed their great Nordic dishes in a Michelin style serving. Seabass is highly recommended
Unforgettable evening
Unforgettable evening with family to celebrate...life. The food was extraordinary- honestly. did not know striped bass could taste so amazing. The sunflower butter dessert - as per our server - was out of this world and so unusual (do not be deterred
It wasn’t a meal, it was an experience. Wow. Elske 👍
Elske did not disappoint. Wow. It was tough to decide whether to take advantage of the beautiful courtyard dining option or watch the magic happen in the kitchen casually seated at the bar. Our delightful bartender made us happy we chose the bar and
Michelin worthy food and service
I had a wonderful experience at Elske. Here are a few highlights of what I and my two dining partners had to eat: (1) Whitefish brandade with fried potato and trout roe. The brandade was a small rectangle crispy on the outside, soft and moist insid

Some highs and lows, but we enjoyed our meal overall and this is one of the more affordable Michelin starred tasting menus in Chicago. Highs: the yeast ice cream with molasses for dessert was the clear winner for me and potentially the best ice cream
I have such mixed feelings when it comes to Elske.
My boyfriend and I got the tasting menu and were loving every course so much until it came to the duck. I guess we should've expected it because earlier in the night the table next to us actually told their waiter that the duck was too tough and I no

The staff is polite and attentive. Cocktails were fantastic, which is to be expected at restaurants of this caliber. I thought the menu was more affordable than I expected. We ordered the charred leeks, roasted skate wing, and sunchoke tortellini. Th

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Price was reasonable for the quality and creativity of food. Wine pairings were amazing and interesting. Dining room is loud but comfortable. Service was friendly, helpful, and not rushed. It was a long

A disappointing dinner
I was so excited to get a reservation here on my last trip to Chicago. But the tasting menu with wine pairing was dull and disappointing. What was good: 1. The service. The wait staff is very attentive and capable of keeping the food and wine going

Lovely evening in the private dining room
I reserved the private dining room on a Saturday evening so that our group of 10 women could celebrate my future daughter-in-law in style. The fireplace and candles added to the relaxing atmosphere as we enjoyed our hors d'oeuvres on the comfortable
Such A Disappointment
I was so disappointed in the food and the lack of attention paid to the small details. We opted to experience the prefixed menu and it was for sure a huge disappointment. Not only was the food bland and not to the standard of Michelin quality, but we

Disons que Peter passe une excellente matinée et décide d’emmener ses trois amis à Elske Chicago à 18h le même jour.
Il consulte le site du restaurant et constate qu’aucune réservation n’est disponible. Il regarde alors la page Elske Chicago sur AppointmentTrader, mais ne trouve aucune annonce d’utilisateur non plus.
C’est là que le système d’enchères communautaire entre en jeu.
Peter peut placer une enchère sur AppointmentTrader, qui servira de récompense à tout membre de la communauté choisissant d’aider à trouver une réservation. AT avertit alors les utilisateurs expérimentés qui pourraient être en mesure d’aider.
Processus étapes par étapes
1.) Définir une récompense (enchère)
* AppointmentTrader utilise des données historiques pour recommander un montant de récompense raisonnable pour obtenir une réservation – disons 100 $.
* Peter souhaite vraiment y aller, alors il augmente l’enchère (ou récompense) à 200 $.
* À ce stade, la réservation n’existe pas encore.
2.) Un membre de la communauté prend l’enchère
* EternalAnt36, un utilisateur expérimenté d’AT, a un historique solide de réservations réussies et peu de demandes de remboursement, il reçoit une notification concernant l’enchère de 200 $ de Peter.
* EternalAnt36 accepte l’enchère, ce qui signifie qu’il va maintenant tenter d’obtenir la réservation.
* Peter peut désormais poser toutes ses questions à EternalAnt36 pendant que ce dernier travaille sur sa demande.
3.) Trouver la réservation
* EternalAnt36 utilise maintenant ses relations chez Elske Chicago pour obtenir la table.
* S’il parvient à avoir la table de 18h pour quatre personnes, Peter reçoit une confirmation lui indiquant que la réservation est sécurisée.
* Si EternalAnt36 n’arrive pas à obtenir la réservation, l’enchère est remise en jeu pour qu’un autre utilisateur puisse tenter sa chance.
4.) Paiement & Protection
* Une fois la réservation sécurisée, EternalAnt36 reçoit la récompense de 200 $ qui est créditée sur le solde AT de EternalAnt36, où les utilisateurs gèrent leurs fonds et peuvent retirer leur argent via les options disponibles comme virement bancaire, PayPal ou Zelle.
* Peter peut alors profiter du dîner avec ses amis à Elske Chicago !
* Comme pour toutes les transactions sur AT, les litiges et les frais d’absence sont gérés via le système communautaire de résolution de la plateforme. Les utilisateurs ayant un bon historique sont incités à honorer les enchères, et les membres de la communauté peuvent signaler les problèmes pour maintenir la confiance sur la marketplace.
